The Duke's wife returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion and went straight to Princess Sheng'an's yard.
In Princess Sheng'an's house, the ladies from the mansion gathered. They all heard that Su Rong was kidnapped by Princess Duanhua and taken to the princess' mansion. This was a big deal. They all came to accompany the princess to wait for the news.
After waiting for more than half an hour, when they saw the Duke's wife coming back, everyone immediately asked: "How is it? Is it true that Miss Su Qi was kidnapped by Princess Duanhua and taken to the princess mansion? Can she be rescued?"
The Duke's wife said, "It's not robbery, that little girl Xiao Qi voluntarily followed Duan Hua to the princess's mansion as a guest."
Everyone said "Huh?" in unison.
The Duke's wife quickly told everyone what Su Rong told her. After she finished speaking, seeing the confused expressions on everyone's faces, she smiled and said, "That's it. Who would have thought that she was really willing to go there on her own?" , because the hibiscus cake in the Princess Mansion is delicious. As for Duanhua, she actually cleared out two rooms in her own yard for her to live in, and also asked the cook in the mansion to prepare a table of delicious dishes. I'll go At that time, she was eating, and she was eating very happily. Princess Qingping was also very talkative today. This was the first time I saw her so talkative. She was not embarrassed at all, and she didn't say a bad word, and she laughed when she saw her. , almost made me laugh."
Princess Sheng'an: "..."
Ladies: "..."
Worry for nothing!
Princess Sheng'an confirmed again and again, "Is it really Su Rong?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "That's right, mother, it's Su Rong. She showed me her badge. It's true. It can't be wrong."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an wondered, "According to Duan Hua's thoughts about Zhou Gu and going crazy like that, how could Su Rong convince Duan Hua with just a few words? And he still treated her like this. Is there something else in this? reason?"
The Duke's wife nodded, "There should be some, but the little girl didn't make it clear, and I didn't have the time to ask. After all, we were in the princess's mansion, so we could only keep the story short. Moreover, it was also the first time I saw her. Isn't it better? After careful investigation, I found that she was fine and safe, and that she was not kidnapped by Duan Hua, so she came back first."
After all, the Duke's wife is not an ordinary person. From Su Rong's brief story, she can naturally tell that the reason why she and Duan Hua fell in love at first sight is not as simple as she said. After all, she has grown up watching Duan Hua since she was a child. She still knew what kind of temper Duan Hua had towards Zhou Gu, so it was impossible for her to be bribed by her with a few words when she met Su Rong. If Duan Hua is so easy to fool, she will not be His Majesty's favorite niece.
The little girl Su Rong was smart and must have known that she would not believe too much in a few words she said. She simply said it very simply and passed it by. She only affirmed that she was voluntary and was very happy to come to the Duke's Mansion in a few days. , she couldn’t ask further questions.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an nodded, "Since she is fine, wait until she comes to our house in a few days and then say hello to her carefully. It just so happens that Brother Gu will have returned home after completing his scientific examination."
This is exactly what the Duke's wife means.
Princess Sheng'an asked again: "What do you think of that child?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "Excellent."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an nodded, and she was interested in getting Zhou Gu to go there. Being able to live in the princess's mansion resolved the conflict between Qingping mother and daughter and the Duke Protector's Palace, and allowed the Duke's wife to say something after meeting her. Excellent, of course it is excellent.
She smiled and waved to everyone, "Okay, since there's nothing else, let's all leave!"
Everyone nodded in unison and left Princess Sheng'an's house one after another.
The Duke's wife stayed for a while, sitting and talking with the eldest princess Sheng'an, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Xiao Qi looks very similar to Princess Zhenmin. Her appearance, if you are careful, once you take a closer look, I’m afraid her identity can’t be kept secret for long.”
Princess Sheng'an frowned, "How similar are they?"
"At least five points."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an stopped the smile on her face, "There's nothing you can do about it. If you can't hide it, then you can't hide it! When the crown prince returns home, remind him to pay close attention to Wei's movements and train his troops diligently. If the Wei Dynasty starts a war again based on what happened back then, we, the Protector of the Country, must protect her. At the very least, if we use troops,
Can't lose again. It has been sixteen years, and unlike Zhen Min back then, the country's strength is not good enough, and its military strength cannot keep up. It is really useless to let a daughter's family take on the important task. "
The Duke's wife nodded, "Don't worry, mother, today's Daliang is not what it used to be. Over the years, our national strength has been restored. The military has never been neglectful."
"Although he is stronger than before, His Majesty has exerted more power in recent years and suppressed the crown prince. The other princes are ambitious and supported by His Majesty. It's hard to say." Princess Sheng'an said, "I will discuss it with your father tonight. , listen to his thoughts, after all, she is also the only daughter of King Nan Chu. Once her identity is really exposed, King Nan Chu will not let us have the final say. "
The Duke's wife nodded, "What mother said is that this matter needs to be carefully considered and discussed. In short, the child does not seem to be fine and we can hide it, but it does look a bit like it. She has just come to Beijing and has not been exposed to many people yet. See, I don’t know if Qing Ping has doubts now, but as time goes by and more people have seen her, there will always be someone who can suspect Zhen Min.”
The eldest princess of Sheng'an nodded, "In the letter from Zhenmin back then, she also said how much the child looks like her. This is one of the reasons why your father has not sent anyone to Jiangning County in recent years. Now that the children are older, it is time to take good care of them. Make some plans."
The Duke's wife sighed, "I hope your Majesty will remember the kindness of Princess Zhenmin back then and not get confused when the time comes."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an said: "Your Majesty was more like a compatriot to Zhenmin than to his sister Qingping. But now that Zhenmin has been dead for many years, and now it is placed on Su Rong, I don't know how much of this love is still there." , but at least before I die, even if he is confused, he will not dare to go too far."
The Duke's wife took a breath and said, "Mom, you will be healthy and healthy for a hundred years. It's better not to scare your daughter-in-law by saying this."
The eldest princess Sheng'an gave her an angry look and waved her hand, "Okay, you haven't had dinner yet, go back to eat quickly. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The Duke's wife responded and stood up to leave.
When the old protector came back, his wife had left, and only the eldest princess Sheng'an was sitting cross-legged on the kang, waiting for him.
Naturally, the old Duke also heard the uproar from outside, and asked what happened to Princess Sheng'an? Is it really Su Rong?
The eldest princess Sheng'an nodded and repeated the words that the Duke's wife had brought back.
After hearing this, the old man opened his eyes wide, and after a while, he was amused, "That little girl is really amazing."
Anyone heard that Su Rong just lived in the princess mansion and was treated as a guest. Isn't it amazing?
The eldest princess of Sheng'an said: "The eldest daughter-in-law guesses that there is an ulterior reason. It's not that simple. I think so. I guess it has something to do with Zhou Gu, otherwise Qingping mother and daughter cannot be allowed to treat her so heartily."
The old man blew his beard and said, "Did that little girl say that she didn't want to marry Zhou Gu to reassure that girl Duanhua? That's why she was warmly received by that girl Duanhua?"
Princess Sheng'an was stunned, "Isn't this possible?"
The old prince has been fighting wits and courage with others all his life. In addition, he has sent people to understand Su Rong's growth in recent days. He got some information about her from childhood to adulthood. He felt that it was very possible. "Why not?" Zhou Gu said How do you think everyone likes such an inconspicuous person?"
Princess Sheng'an glared, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with my grandson?"
The old man sat down and said, "That little girl Duanhua, you said she's crazy, otherwise how could you control her? In my opinion, it's nine out of ten."
The more Princess Sheng'an thought about it, the more it made sense. She sat up straight and asked, "How can this be done?"
Had she thought about what to do if Su Rong and Zhou Gu couldn't get along? But I never thought that if Zhou Gu was willing to marry, what would happen if Su Rong didn't marry?
"Don't worry, I'm just guessing, but I may not be sure. Didn't the little girl from the Su family say she will come to visit the mansion in a few days? Just wait a few days and see what she says when she comes." Lao Guo The father was able to keep his composure.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an could only suppress her thoughts for the time being and talk to the old prince about Su Rong's appearance, "The eldest daughter-in-law said they look very similar, at least five points. It's okay for a short time, but over time, I'm afraid it will I can’t hide it.”
Now that she lives in the princess's mansion, even if she doesn't live in the princess's mansion, she can't be allowed to walk around in front of others and expose others.
Hide it from others.
The old Duke was prepared in his heart, "There is nothing we can do. If we are exposed, we will be exposed. We are not completely unprepared. At worst, if Wei refuses to do what happened back then and tears up the peace treaty, we will start a war with Wei. I don't believe it anymore. , I can’t beat Da Wei this time.”
Princess Sheng'an also meant the same thing, "There is also the King of Nanchu..."
"Let's take it one step at a time!" The old man didn't have any better ideas now, "Let's wait until we meet the little girl first."
Princess Sheng'an nodded. Indeed, they haven't seen anyone yet, so it's hard to say anything.
